A week after the tulip fields in Lisse I went to Flevoland province, to see if I could get better pictures of tulip fields and perhaps a modern day windmill or two.
Well, I wasn’t disapointed. I cranked up the candy factor on the picture, to make the flowers look more colorful than they already are. Funny to have a rather noisy windmill right there in your flower-bulb field.
I went for a ride to Alkmaar to see the flower bulb fields there, but they were a bit of a dissapointment. I want a windmill behind my field of tulips. And I just couldn’t find the right one. So I drove my tiny car back to Lisse, where I decided to take some shots of a tulip field with the sky as background-the usual surroundings are rather boring metal sheds.
I played around with Lightroom, increasing the blacks which gave me rather saturated candy colors. I thing it gives the picture a nice banding effect; the cool blue and green offset with the rather warm pink flowers in the middle. I’m not too worried about the sun’s light messing up the sky in my picture. Well not really.
Last Sunday they organized a bulbride in honor of the folower bulb fields I guess. This was the very first time it was organized, and if a success, they would repeat it each year.
I was a bit late, but early enough to see the various vintage cars parked in the main street of the village where I live. I took a bunch of pictures, but the one below is the only worthy enough for my website.
I did the usual stuff in PS and I straightened the picture.
